classic drifter

Am I the only one who uses 12 lb main?

No youre not alone brother, reason of me using 12 is it somewhat gets stuck in the creases of my digits when i side cast if the line is too small dia. I still remember when PUMP KNOWS first saw me out east, he was like what Lb test line are you using? Like 20lb? Then i told him it was 14 at that time, i explained to him and he understood why, LOL!!!

I know this may sound a little noob, but once i removed a branch that was in the creek due to it catching my leader often, once i pulled it out there were alot of snagged lines on it with hooks and what not, IMHO i dont think i altered anything, but forgive me if i had done something illegal or incorrect, the only thing in my mind at that time is it will be benefecial for the fish and me, less hooks dangling around and no more hooks and line lost on my part. I once asked about removing a fallen tree from a creek and the only way the local govt or the MNR would take action is when it is stopping the fish to head upstream, if it provides shelter for the fish or does not get in the way of them heading up no action would be taken, and as far i know what those guys were doing is wrong! I just say let nature take its course if there is a massive enough rain to clear all the debris and branches and what not and make new home for fish so be it, all i can do is walk pass a nice pool if its really unfishable due to "structure" just my 2 cents,

im drooling!!!!

he IS the best fishing buddy ever. doesnt swim in my pools and is an excellent listener off leash!
 

Wait why is his leash on the water??? Did you peg him up on the bank?LOL!!!

I just got a new pop up from Rapala and I've already set it up a few times just for fun.  I chose the Asylum3 (six sided hut, am I crazy) and curious to see how Ill manage on windy days, lol.

I was looking at the two man Rapala cruzer flip over shelter but it weighs in at a cool 87lb so I didnt really have a choice, did I? 

 

To tow it, I got the rapala 56inch low rider sled and pulling harness, lol.  

 

Few more accessories and I'm ready to giggity giggity go.

 

i beleive thats the best fishing buddy ever! so calm and relaxed!
